It's called werewolf, not spelling bee. Just tell everyone you're going to be a 'Progressive English' major when you start College.
Mister Chu informs me (his agent) that he has finished the opening season ritual, has adorned his abode with cherry blossoms and consulted with his elders. One of them, having actually spoken with Cy Young when he was alive mentioned that Cy was was quite displeased with being in a game that wasn't spelled correctly, and wanted to be voted off the diamond as soon as possible.
Though it was explained to the elder that the first round vote would be rather meaningless, the elder was non the less insistent that Chu vote for the old Cy.
Not wanting to anger his elders, Chu has instructed me to write the following on his behind:
VOTE J. Passepartout.
I tried to explain it was on his 'behalf', that the word he wanted was 'behalf'... But Chu wouldn't hear any of it. 'Ees A-O-K fah Gee Em to make wood up, ees A-O-K for Chu too'. All additional attempts to explain what he was actually saying to him were lost in translation.
Oh, and on his front hind Chu said he would like to have a tattoo of his girlfriend's name: Sum Dum Chik. If anybody wants to help him out with that... I'm not touching it.
Nope.
No way, no how.
Your "targeting" system is about as clear as your batting eye. You sure you're not an ump?
So apparently I'm a sub? Sure, I guess I'll let it stand.
Give me a call if you need me.

To some people it looked like the game was just starting. First innings, two out and a runner on second and as Slugger came out to bat everyone knew what would happen. With a name like Slugger, there was only one thing that could happen.
To Kurvble, however, the game had been going for a long time already. Sometimes he would joke that the game started when his mother first set eyes on his father over 24 years ago, at least his listeners assumed he was joking. Slugger just took the game one homer at a time. Kurvble wasn't joking. Perhaps he exaggerated a little, but the game didn't start when he put on his helmet. It didn't start when he boasted to the media about how he was going to hit the first pitch out of the stadium. That was just a little image reinforcement. Everyone saw Slugger, waiting with those bulging muscles, muscles built up from hours in the gym and a carefully selected diet, waiting to dispatch this first pitch, this soft pitch heading straight for the sweet spot, this first pitch that went straight, until it dipped down and away, out of the sweet spot, out of the strike zone and into the catcher's mitt.
Kurvble barely flinched a muscle as he watched it go by. The crowd let out a great sigh as they settled back into their seats but secretly they were pleased that they would get another chance to see the ball slugged on the very next pitch. Kurvble never struck at the first pitch. There was too much information to be gained. Would the same little telltales that he had picked up from the film still be there? Could he tell what the pitch was going to be from the way the pitcher's toe pointed? Slugger would have swung and missed for Strike 1. Kurvble stood and watched and listened for the call from behind the plate.
Strike 1.
That was the most important information of all. The opposition were paying the heavier bribes.

@the_hdk: THE_SPLIT is doing his best SPAM imitation as the first casualty... That says to me that the first night has past... Am I wrong...?
@The Arch Mead: Very nice...
...As for the heavier bribes, they probably just paid them in quarters... I wouldn't worry about it.
@EUROO7: But only once. After that I make no guarantees...
@Punkbob: Stupid professional base and ball players... Señorita El Bob needs no reece-sons for hees votes... And you should not swear. Mother says eet iss from the ebil Juan...! (Who knew the gardener could be so powerful...?)
@The Arch Mead: Very nice...

Wrong ball game. They pay them by the quarter in the other one.
Vote the Arch Mede. Its the first day, and I am pleased to see my original philosphy spreading throughout werewolf. *grins*
A wider one, and clearly wide, and no bribe is going to make that other than
Ball 1 Strike 1
The pitcher's right eyebrow twitches slightly to the left. The next one should be fast and straight. It is. It goes fast and straight over the plate.
Ball 1 Strike 2
Another pitch like the first, and for the first time Kurvble swings, deliberately fouling it away but with rather more slice than intended and it heads straight towards the unfortunate Cy Young who should have been watching the game rather than the babes in the crowd. That must have hurt, but how badly remains to be seen.
Vote J Passepartout

Vote J Passepartout
I shouldn't have picked George Best, Rp'ing a drunk person is hard, especially when you're 14
Anyway, Antracer has posted too much cunning disguised cleverly as idiocy for me to ignore Vote Antracer until we knock some real nonsense into him, not this pretend stupidity he is poisoning our unsophisticated minds with

Well yeah, obviously, I'm just trying to keep up morale here
Do you have a problem with that?Unvote Antracer Vote Kathnar I don't feel comfortable with giving him three votes already, however clumsily ingenious he may be
